We say hello and were you
here last week? We say to
you that we were here last
week, and for you that are
here today, have you been
buying any records lately?
Cause if you have, I know
what you got. And I’m
going to tell you what you
are going to get. I’m not
talking about tomorrow,
or the next day, you see,
I’m talking about next
month. I’m going to turn
you on to everything you’re
going to get. See, I know
you are going to get it. You
see, nature planned it that
way. Two months from to
day we are going to tell you
the records that You are
going to have in your
house, and you are going tq
be loving it.
Have you seen any mos
quitoes lately?
Shirley Brown’s “Woman
to Woman.” It’s right to
the top. That’s where it
stands, but check Barbara
Mason when she says to
Shirley, “I can’t afford to
do all the things that you
are doing for this man.
She says she don’t even
have a job. That’s Barbara
Mason from her new, neW
on Buddah. She’s got it
“From His Women To
You”.
We told you about Millie
Jackson’s “Rap”, well it's
rapping right on, on to the
top. Right on Millie J.
There is a label out called
Mums; you pronounce
that! Well, Mums label has
a group they call the Jack
son Sisters and they act like
they want to live up to their
name. Doing a song called,
“Boy You’re Dynamite”.
Tell me, Johnny Bristol
produced it.
Invitations have a new one
saying “Look On The
Good Side” we say right on.
Invitations following upon
“They Say The Girl’s
Crazy. ” Pucker Power.
Sussex records say they
want to put it on you. Giv
ing you the Master Fleet—
and “Let Love Stand, ” and
Peace Be With You And Love Forever

you turn right around and
they want to be nasty, giv
ing you or presenting to
you Lonette McKee with
“Save It (Don’t Give It
Away). I wonder what she’s
talking about. It is all
coming-to-you-from-Los
Angeles Calif.
Records are released every
day and everyday there is a
“badd” one somewhere.
“My Main Man” is the
latest by the Staples. Mabie
says she and her Main Man
got a pocket full of love.
Why don’t you check it
out. The Staple Singers on
Stax records.
Looking around finding
what they got out there to
make a “thang.” And I
found it, he calls himself
the “Thin Man” says he’s
built for power, says he’s
here to please and that
“thang y’all,” is Eddie
Kendricks. They really
juiced him up this time.
There are a lot of artist
who lose sleep to do this.
Two sides on the same
record. But Eddie says it’s
like when your baby
leaves, “One Tear”. It’s
Eddie Kendricks all from
Tamla, part of the Mo
town sound. You don’t
need to check it, it’s going
to check you, right into a
Bump.
As we climb the step ladder
of time, we wonder will
thee ever be Peace on Earth
and Goodwill to Man —
The thought for today is
Unity and Self Sacrifice.
When Unity is brought on
by a noble means, it may
produce a facility for hat
ing. Even when men of
earth and all the nations
league themselves together
to promote tolerance and
peace on earth, even after
this, they are likely to be
violently intolerant toward
those —Not Os A Like
Mind. Just a thought for
today.

Sister Rose on United

the spirit. They say they’re
“Got To Testify (Love).
It’s all a wham-a-wham.

(This is the first of a series of articles on how moderate
income families, lower-income families and others can
live in the very best style . . . without paying unreason
ably high prices for food, clothing, home furnishings,
beverages and other basic needs for good living. These
editorials are in support of your own Community's news
paper’s effort —in cooperation with the National News
paper Publisher’s Association —to help add to the quality
of life of all of us. You can help support your local pub
lisher’s efforts by bringing this column to the attention of
others and by participating in the varied endeavors of
your publisher to help in the leadership of communities
. . . and in style without paying needlessly high prices)
Quality Foods Can Be Cut:
Food costs are one of the largest expenses in family
living. For moderate and lower income families, it
undoubtedly is the largest single expense . . . representing
close to 20 percent (or more) of the income of Black Amer
icans. And, food prices continue to climb at a more rapid
rate during this inflationary period than any other com
modity-grouping.
Adjustment of foods costs and/or food buying habits is
easier than most other commodities since food is pur
chased once or twice a week by many families and daily by
some. When you contrast this with purchases of an auto
mobile, a home or furniture —where years elapse between
purchases, you can see its far easier to correct mistakes in
food puuchase patterns.
For those of us a hit hardest by inflation, we have to be
aware of all possibile savings and take advantage of them.
One sure way is to always redeem money-value coupons.

Black news
is good news
Every day something good can
happen to those beautiful ears of
yours. It’s called Black news. And
the way you get next to it is by
tuning in a National Black Net
work station.
Every hour on the hour 18 times a
day, (slightly abbreviated schedule
on Sunday) you can hear about
what’s happening in your world.
That’s because it’s news reported
and edited by Black people.
Listen to the good news. Black
news on the National Black
Network.

There are other suggestions, also, offered by Cornell
University consumer leaflet no. 18.
Compare Cost Per Serving:
Because lower-cost meats and produce may contain
waste, price alone cannot be the only guide to value of
these foods. A more accurate measure of economy is cost
per serving.
To find or calculate cost per serving, simply divide the
retail price per pound by the number of servings it pro
vides per pound. For example, a store may offer both
ground chuck beef and pork spareribs for 89 cents per
pound. Because the spareribs contain considerable w-’ste
in the form of bone and fat, a pound provides only 1-1/3
servings. On the other hand, a pound of ground chuck
provides as much as 4 servings. This means that spareribs
cost 67 cents (89 cents divided by 1-1/3). A serving of
ground chuck costs only 22 cents (89 cents divided by 4).
Always Redeem Coupons:
Many food processors or marketers of high quality
foods promote with money-saving coupons. These
coupons often make purchases of these high quality foods
lower than inferior brands. Thus, when excellent brands
like those of GF Kitchens, Kraftco, Kelloggs, Best Foods,
Quaker Oats, RJR Foods, General Mills and others offer
coupons as a cash savings, they should always be clipped
and redeemed.
More about how redeeming coupons and other ways to
save will be explored in future articles in this newspaper
on how you can be “LEADING YOUR COMMUNITY
. . .IN STYLE!” without exceeding a reasonable budget.
